Wow! That's just beautiful. Didn't realize just how much work is involved with putting in a pond. You sure can use your equipment. it was very impressive. I watched the hole video and became a new subscriber to your channel. Thanks for bringing me along. Looking forward to other videos you made. Cheers
Thanks! I appreciate it! But I'm sure that Chris can handle it. I'm seen him doing this. He doesn't need to do this very often. That's why. Hes bucket tilting function is very fast on 220, I don't like that. Mine is doing it smoothly.
I’d say Chris is just as good. You’re watching it at twice the speed but in reality that excavator is very slow compared to Chris’s Volvo 220 so it just looks smoother at that speed.
@mikehunt3222 If it's slower, then it's smoother as well 😀 but yes, if you compare with my normal speed videos, it might be a bit slower. It's a lot older machine too.
@hippie_james Yeah, I know him also. He is good 👍 He is professional and does it every day since he was a young guy. He has to be better than me. No doubt! For me, it's like a side job. Thanks for watching! Cheers!
@@hippie_james Chris with let’s dig knows how to dig stock tanks . I’ve been a operator 50 years, and canout dig him, BUT AFH has the best hand to eye control on RU-vid!!!! That’s a Fact👍
Yeah, we have a bit different environments and different standards here. That's why I like to watch him and some others because it's fun to see how people do these things far away from me. Cheers!
Todos os tempos que eu assisti esses vídeos essa é a valeta mais perfeita que eu já vi, parabéns para o condutor da máquina que está fazendo isso. muito muito muito profissional.
That was a great improvement from the start to finish. Wouldn't it be faster and easier to have a finish dozer for the last part to save money and ware to the excavator to do the finish work. You definitely do awesome work.
This man does not need a dozer or Skidster to do final grade or clean up. That’s why this man AFH is the best on RU-vid!! That’s a fact. The other guys like letsdig18 and dirt perfect need a dozer and skidster to do work like this man does with excavator, I’ve never seen him use a transit level?? Maybe he’s got that good of a eye. That’s why this man is better than any other dirt contractor on you tube. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!👍
@gregjones3453 Thanks for the good qords! I do most of the jobs, just eyeballing it, but sometimes you just have to use a laser when you need to be sure. It's faster when you don't have to redo things to get it right. And yea, larger areas are reasonable to spread and level with the dozer. I didn't had it so I did with the excavator. It's more time consuming. Thanks for commenting! Cheers!
Great video and work, I just subscribed :-) Where are you located? I see that you do a lot of work with the ditching bucket- how to you like it for digging? (I see that you are digging a lot in sand/soil without rocks). With the ditching bucket you can finish it right away so that nice but I am wondering if it requires a little more power to dig or is there no difference in that kind of soil compared to using a digging bucket (with the teeth)? What size (width) is your ditching bucket? Your shoes/tracks looks wide! Probably a good thing in the soft soil you are working in! Sorry for all the questions :-)
@fabiancanada8876 Thanks! In Estonia. Yes, I do. I dig in soft dirt mostly and It's nice to finish all up so I don't need access there anymore. Yes, it's harder to dig if the ground is hard, with a lot of rocks or stiff clay. The bucket for this Hyundai 160 is 180cm wide and tracks are 900mm. Tracks work well for this type of bog I need to deal with mostly. You need to keep in mind that wide tracks mean less force for ground per inch, but if you get stuck then you have more force that is holding you stuck. It's harder to get unstuck. No problem, this type of comments are always nice to get. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers!
@@AFHProjects Hey thanks for answering the questions! I honestly didnt think about how hard it could be to get the wide tracks out when you are stuck but its probably still better to have the wide ones on and just dont get stuck :-) Holy crap 180 cm wide that is a nice bucket size! PS I really like watching Andris from Ants Pants as well. and I think he is in Estonia as well?! Greetings from Nova Scotia (we are originally from Germany but have been living in Canada for 13 years now).
Yeah, these tracks make a difference. Sorry, the bucket is 160cm on this one and 140cm on Hyundai 110. Andris is also from Estonia. Nice, I like Canadian nature. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers!
@@AFHProjects Thanks for the clarification :-) Yes the nature /space is really nice but is becoming really expensive to live here and the government control is getting severe as well. We immigrated 13 years ago and it was great then but things have gotten quite bad now. We pay 330/month just for property tax and home insurance. At the same time there are hardly any well paying jobs.
I'd always turn stumps upside down in soft places for small hoes and always had mats for the dragline. I've been in several places I had to mat the machine out and in because it was way too soft to walk on and the machine weighed 25 tons. I still like the tilt bucket setup a LOT and I still don't like ar-tic trucks BUT if that's all there is.................! CHEERS!
Yeah, I save bigger ones as well in these situations, for in case I need them. They always save the day. Just drop them under the tracks. I used mats only once with the hyundai 110. The other operator smashed them on the other project. Should build new ones for in case. But this 160 has 900 mm wide tracks. It's floating much better than the small 110. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers Lewie!
tty sure the old dragline had maybe 36 inch pads and we had to get an overwidth permit to move it. It'd walk around like a dozer but with the non-grousers and all that weight and no down pressure we figured we best be better off safe than sorry. I was the only one that ran it and I made sure the mats stayed in good shape. They saved my neck more than once. And there are spots that you'd need some too. A good hemlock stump sure does help. All ours died off from the blight. Take care and stay warm if you can and build a fire if you can't! CHEERS backatyou and more mat material might make a sawmill video or two!!@@AFHProjects
@lewiemcneely9143 Yeah, better keep the risk down if possible with heavy equipment. It's bad to go after it when you buried somewhere with it. And all that mess you have to fix after that. It's not worth it. Thanks for the story! I had a helper who hauled with A20 on site, and I was home. He came to get some fuel and said he's stuck a little. He will get out soon. I had to be in the firestation shift on the next day, so I decided to go a look. He was so drowned in the red clay hole that only the rooftop was over the ground. About the milling... we have deep wintertime here, like 3 feet of snow. Need to get the harvester in shape and go to make some logs. Cheers Lewie!
I had to go rescue the old dragline I used to run with a D4D? with a winch when the mat broke. The operator was a pal and a good one and caught it as soon as it broke and hadn't sunk. I backed right up to him and hooked the winch in the hole in the middle of the car body and we both gave a heave at the same time and up it came. The harvester will just need checking, a little grease and regular stuff and the sawing will be done when the snow melts I bet. We sawed here in winter but it was NOTHING like yours and under a mostly open shed anyway. Make ponds while the snow flies. We got flurries yesterday with sun shining and that suits me. I used to wear it out but it'd wear me out now. Stay warm and keep slinging stuff and feeding you little bird pal. CHEERS again!@@AFHProjects
Edges are fine. The client wanted steep shores, and the swimming area is close to the front yard of the house. The shore is much shallower there. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers!
No one isn't going to chip this building wood. There are nails and other metal stuff in there. It will mess up the chipper knives. It's possible to use another type of crusher, but there is not enough wood for that.
